How Homebase runs its board from one current board book

What does Homebase do?

Homebase is a software company. It moves quickly, and its board oversight has to keep the same pace as the business.

Why did a software company need a board portal?

Before each meeting, materials arrived as decks, finance notes and status updates, often revised the day before. Versions multiplied by email, and directors asked which PDF was final. Follow-ups were noted on the side and forgotten until the next meeting. A company that builds software for others was running its own governance on the least durable format: the latest attachment.

How does the Homebase board prepare its meetings?

Homebase moved its board materials into one current board book in Konsaro. Every board member opens the same link, and updates go into the board book instead of a new email. Each agenda item has a visible owner, and every topic follows one path from preparation to decision.

What happens after a board meeting at Homebase?

Decisions and follow-ups stay on the record, each with an owner, so the team can move on without waiting for a clarifying email. The board book is prepared once and updated in place instead of being rebuilt every cycle.

Why set up board discipline early?

Meetings spend more time on the decisions that matter and less on which version is on the table. With one place for board work, the habit is in place before growth makes version chaos expensive.
